Rodney Walker Design

BY APPOINTMENT

1049 Rancho Drive – Ojai, CaliforniaThe Walker Residence, 1959

Of all John Entenza’s California Case Study Program participants, Rodney Walker was the most hands on designer. Julius Shulman recalled Rodney up on a tractor preparing a site on Mulholland Drive for one of his visionary projects. From finding the site, to site preparation, design and execution Rodney was involved with every detail. With his own family residence in Ojai, California it is understandable that this total immersion in process as wellas his creativity, unrestricted by the constraints of client’s wishes, has resulted in a true masterpiece of Twentieth Century modern architecture. While the designs of Rodney’s three Case Study residences are internationally known and celebrated today, his personal residence in Ojai remains virtuallyunknown, even though those who do know the work acknowledge the creation as his most significant. Rodney modestly did not flaunt his riches.

Rodney was not the first to utilize the equilateral triangle in architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright utilized a modular system of equilateral triangles in some of his designs, and John Lautner designed a small residence with a perimeter in the shape of an equilateral triangle like Rodney’s

in 1950. Nevertheless, the Walker Residence design, without sacrificing utility, epitomizes the utilization of the form in the creation of an unsurpassed statement of what today has become popularly known as the modern California lifestyle of indoor-outdoor living.

The carefully chosen site is a unique hilltop on the west side of the Ojai Valley which affords 270 degree panoramic vistas while still providing total privacy for the occupants. Curtain glass walls and mobile glass panels are set back beneath the roof eaves and structural perimeter. From the interiors the effect is cineramic. To steal from Wright; from this vantage you don’t just see the Valley and the Mountains, you are the Valley and the Mountains! The experience is transcendent, and not fleeting. Communing with nature here is a moment by moment daily reality. The site is over 3.4 acres. A gated private drive curves gently up the hill to a generous parking plaza and the residence entry. In addition to the living areas, there are four bedrooms, media room, and three baths. See additional images at: walkerresidence.com

3410 Hermosa — Hermosa BeachMorphosis Architecture — Harris Revisions: Daly, Genik, Architects

The Lawrence/Harris Residence, 1983 - 2004

A rigorous post-modern approach to the design of this celebrated landmark of modern beach living has honed a structure strikingly apart from, yet correct for its beach city context. The resulting program triumphs with solutions over challenges posed by dense urbanism, and seaside entropy. From the imposing three story entry, an elevator whisks one to the top floor where space, light and air are the hallmarks of living and dining areas surrounded by panoramic vistas dominated by the beach and ocean. There is a natural flow to the kitchen, and out to a garden roof terrace. Verticality is broken by a multi split-level floor plan incorporating a master bedroom with built-ins, fireplace, ample closets and ocean views. There are two additional bedrooms, 2.5 luxuriously appointed baths, den/library, wine cellar, laundry and 2 car garage.There is an additional corner lot devoted to gardens, parking, patio and play areas.

Buff and Hensman, Architects

480 Glen Holly Drive — Pasadena

Conrad Buff III and his wife Libby sought a new and more accessible location than the exposed hilltop upon which

they were living. Choosing a cool and wooded site in the San Rafael hills, this multi-level structure was erected using

the design language common to the architects’ later projects; rectilinear living modules appear to be stacked atop each

other. The vertical massing creates an evocative presence from the street. Unlike the wooden post and beam structures

this team is famous for, Buff House is clad in gunite stucco and utilizes commercial grade materials throughout.

With privacy in mind, the interior benefits from narrow vertical glazing and thoughtfully placed walls of glass that

open to outdoor living areas and the urban forest beyond. Recent interior appointments by previous owner HGTV’s

design personality Kristan Cunningham make this home feel fresh and current.Conrad’s original ground level

workspace and studio have been completely finished and add approximately 600 sf of bonus living space

not included in the total living area. These generous spaces and can be utilized in a multitude of

fashions for a truly customized living experience. Residence includes 2 bedrooms, 3 baths, Office, Workspace, Media Room.

Pollack & Kahn, Engineers

OPEN SUNDAY 2 – 5PM

1300 Monument Street – Pacific PalisadesClassic Post & Beam Design, 1955

From the body of work discovered thus far, it is clear that Pollack & Kahn fully mastered the now classic post & beam glass

house style pioneered by the U.S.C. School of Architecture just after the war. Their work seems most closely aligned with

that of Richard Dorman’s designs of the period. The living spaces are lifted, and set above the carport to allow maximum light

and views from the close-in hillside setting. Inside, a prominent roof beam projects through the living room and out beyond

the glass wall, focusing one’s view out to the treetop vistas, with a glimmer of the ocean just beyond. Rare, especially in

the Palisades, this light filled living environment carefully integrates 3 bedrooms 2 baths, outdoor patio, and gardens.
